Accessory fluid

Talc of metasedimentary origin is formed by hydrothermal alteration of a dolomitic host rock by a silica-containing fluid. This type of deposit is typical of Montana and AustraUa. It is usually quite pure with talc content of 90 to 98% and often very white as well. Dolomite [17069-72-6], CaMg(C02)2, is the most common accessory mineral. The fourth type is of metamorphic origin, where a siUcaceous dolostone is first converted to tremolite [14567-73-8] or actinohte [13768-00-8] and then partially converted to talc. The Balmat, New York, and Death Valley, California, deposits are of this type. Tremolite, dolomite, and serpentine are common accessory minerals. This type of talc deposit has a variable talc content (30—80%), but is usually white and often commercially exploited because of the properties of its accessory minerals rather than the talc. [Pg.299]

The second cutwater and volute channel create an additional obstruction to the flow through this pump, and for that reason it robs some energy from the fluid. This will reduce the efficiency to a small degree, but the operational range of these pumps is quite broad as you can see in the graph. The dual volute design easing is an optional cost accessory with some pump companies, and offered standard with others. [Pg.141]

During tiie ongoing assessment, tiie nurse assesses the respiratory status every 4 hours and whenever tiie drug is administered. The nurse notes the respiratory rate, lung sounds, and use of accessory muscles in breathing, hi addition, tiie nurse keeps a careful record of the intake and output and reports any imbalance, which may indicate a fluid overload or excessive diuresis. It is important to monitor any patient with a history of cardiovascular problems for chest pain and changes in the electrocardiogram. The primary health care provider may order periodic pulmonary function tests, particularly for patients with emphysema or bronchitis, to help monitor respiratory status. [Pg.341]

A focused physical exam should be conducted that includes the general presentation (level of alertness, fluid status, presence of cyanosis, and use of accessory muscles), auscultation of the lungs, heart rate, and respiratory rate. [Pg.228]

Seminal fluid arises from secretions of accessory glands. [Pg.431]

The prostate gland and the seminal vesicles secrete the bulk of the fluid. The sources, contents and functions of the secretions from the accessory glands are given in Table 19.1. [Pg.431]

O, H, C, S, and N isotope compositions of mantle-derived rocks are substantially more variable than expected from the small fractionations at high temperatures. The most plausible process that may result in variable isotope ratios in the mantle is the input of subducted oceanic crust, and less frequent of continental crust, into some portions of the mantle. Because different parts of subducted slabs have different isotopic compositions, the released fluids may also differ in the O, H, C, and S isotope composition. In this context, the process of mantle metasomatism is of special significance. Metasomatic fluids rich in Fe +, Ti, K, TREE, P, and other large ion lithophile (LIE) elements tend to react with peridotite mantle and form secondary micas, amphiboles and other accessory minerals. The origin of metasomatic fluids is likely to be either (1) exsolved fluids from an ascending magma or (2) fluids or melts derived from subducted, hydrothermally altered crust and its overlying sediments. [Pg.103]

In severe acute disease parenteral steroids and other immuno-suppressants, ciclosporin, and infliximab may be required. There is little evidence to support the use of any accessory treatments. Constipation associated with colonic dysfunction may be helped by a high fibre diet but this will have no intrinsic effect on the inflammation. In severe acute exacerbations of extensive disease, fluid replacement intravenously and blood transfusion may be needed. [Pg.625]

Accessory measures insertion of a peritoneo-venous shunt to allow transfer of ascitic fluid to the venous compartment has largely been abandoned due to frequent shunt obstruction, peritoneal infection and the occurrence of encephalopathy. TIPS is as effective in relieving ascites as paracentesis with albumin replacement, but shunts can quickly become obstructed, and hepatic encephalopathy is a common complication. [Pg.631]

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the two-section reactor body and accessories. The fluid bed section was made of self-bonded silicon carbide, 16 inches high by 6% inches o.d. with a recessed flange. The recess accommodated a 120-mesh porosity silicon carbide gas distribution plate. The nickel manifold assembly was topped by a heavy support flange. This manifold sup-... [Pg.673]

Cimetidine (for treatment of peptic ulcers) competes with dihydrotestosterone for receptors in the testis and accessory sex glands. The more common sequelae are low sperm count and gynacomastia. Epidemiological evidence has shown that occupation exposure to oral contraceptives can induce gynacomastia in exposed males. Diethylstilbestrol (DES) antagonizes the activity of fetal testosterone. In the male offspring, testicular hypoplasia, abnormal semen parameters, and infertility result. Ketoconazole has be shown to be transported to the seminal fluid and to immobilize the sperm. [Pg.345]

Pressure accessories are defined to have an operational function having pressure-bearing housings, therefore all valves and fluid-pressurized actuators are pressure accessories. [Pg.84]

Fully cryogenic licjuid service Pilot-operated, soft-seated valves with a type of vaporizer which (relatively) warms up the fluid entering the pilot or high-performance, soft-seated, spring-operated SRVs. The vaporizer and other accessories of a typical cryogenic configuration on a pilot-operated valve keep the pilot warm, which then works on vapour. In any case, these are applications that should be discussed with your SRV supplier. Some suppliers have done extensive tests on cryogenic applications and have experience to share on this specific application. [Pg.221]

Our group was the first to report imaging with a diamond ATR accessory that provided a field of view of ca. 1 mm2 and the spatial resolution of ca. 15 pm without the use of an infrared microscope [18], The demonstration of the applicability of a diamond ATR accessory for FTIR imaging opened up a range of new opportunities in polymer research, from compaction of tablets [21-23] to studying phase separation in polymer blends subjected to supercritical fluids [24], This imaging approach was successfully utilised for the study of dissolution of tablets in aqueous solutions [25], We have also demonstrated macro... [Pg.9]

The male reproductive tract consists of the (i) testes, which serve as the site of gamete and steroid hormone production, (ii) excurrant ducts and epididymes for the transport, maturation, and storage of sperm, (iii) accessory sex glands for the production of seminal fluid, and (iv) penis, for copulation and delivery of mature sperm to the female reproductive tract. [Pg.813]

The accessory sex glands of the male reproductive tract include the prostate, seminal vesicles, and bulbourethral glands. These are highly androgen-dependent tissues that function primarily to produce the seminal fluids that compose semen. As in the... [Pg.820]
